Cryogenic vacuum insulation For years, cryogenic systems have benefitted enormously from vacuum insulation. According to NASA, “Cryogenic thermal insulation systems that incorporate a vacuum environment can provide the lowest possible heat transfer.” But … Read more
What is thermal shock? Thermal shock occurs when materials are rapidly exposed to extreme temperatures. Severe and/or repeated exposure to sudden changes in temperature can lead to degradations in material … Read more
Research & Development Concept Group engineers are conducting exciting new research on ceramic Insulon®. We have used ceramics in high-end applications, but today’s research is pushing the envelope to understand … Read more
Vacuum insulation demo The video above includes two demonstrations illustrating the thermal performance of Insulon® advanced vacuum insulation. The first demonstration is at high temperatures (650°C / 1200°F), and the second … Read more
Thermal radiation can easily penetrate most types of insulation materials, even those designed for high temperatures. Vacuum insulation drastically reduces convective and conductive heat transfer, but radiation can still get … Read more
Aerogel alternative Advanced vacuum insulation is a highly effective thermal barrier that can be used as an alternative to aerogel. Both of these products can offer advantages compared to traditional … Read more
